"Transaction Reporting: MiFID II/MiFIR Data Challenges"

Transaction Reporting – what’s changing?

White Paper: AutoRek

Transaction Reporting is one of the key priorities for regulators. Some are already warning that there will be no latitude for non-compliance, including late reporting. The aim of Transaction Reporting is to assist EU regulators in the detection and investigation of suspected market abuse.

By implementing a robust, automated financial control regime, investments firms will ensure readiness for the significant changes MiFID II/MiFIR will have in respect of Transaction Reporting requirements.

Currently there is divergence across Europe and the member states, in respect of the application of existing transaction reporting obligations. MiFID II is seeking to harmonise Transaction Reporting so that there is a more consistent approach.

This whitepaper focuses on Transaction Reporting and how a robust, automated financial control regime can overcome often manual and complex reporting processes, hence ensuring on-going compliance, including:

Each year, HighRoads surveys companies about their current processes and future plans for compliance communications. In 2013, HighRoads invited mid- to large-sized organizations throughout the United States to share information about their compliance and governance operations; their approach to producing, updating and distributing Summary Plan Descriptions (SPD) and the steps they are taking to generate the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) and other required notices under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Benefits communication straddles an unusual line between the everchanging requirements of government regulation, the increasing need for clear, concise and understandable content and changing preferences for how to receive and send information. That said, there are some things that remain constant from year to year-such as what employers find most challenging and the lack of good data around compliance expenditures.

In the present scenario, it is very difficult to achieve CASS compliance without the correct CASS governance and oversight framework in place.
Most firms with CASS failings painfully resolve their issues only to find more problems down the line, despite all the costs and resources that they would have dedicated to resolving the initial failings. Often this is due to the lack of focus on building a sustainability framework that is forward looking, rather than incident driven.
But what does 'Good CASS Governance' even look like? Few firms or consultants can explain what good governance looks like or provide a tangible solution; a lack of clarity in the market exists even before the myriad of CASS arrangements have been added to the equation.
This whitepaper provides insights on what firms need to do in order to manage CASS risk and build a robust CASS governance structure. It highlights:
Good Governance: The Key to CASS Compliance
Personal accountability and Tougher CASS audits
The importance of centralized processes and controls
Risk management using 'tangible' governance tools
A 'Governance Wheel' of CASS governance's critical elements
The danger of 'sticking plaster solutions'

What is

Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) are the nucleus of European securities market legislation. The aim of MiFID II is to make financial markets more stable, efficient, and transparent facilitating protection of investors. The European Commission implemented MiFID II, in early January 2018, with a set of improvised rules for the structure of markets and the trading of financial tools.Embarking on its central theme of transparency

Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation or MiFIR, is a European law which demands its member states to comply with its regulations. As a result of the last financial crisis, the need for a European Union wide regulation called for the emergence of MiFIR. This regulation was formed with the intent to not only protect the markets, but also the investors.

A transaction report is a data set submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) which contains information relating to a transaction. Every transaction report contains relevant data about the financial instrument dealt with, the firm commissioning the trade, the person on whose behalf the firm has dealt (where applicable), the trade counter party and the time and date of the trade.
